It seems that a calcium supplement can prevent seizure medication from being absorbed into the bloodstream. So much so, that it carries it's own dosing procedures for some patients. Isn't that something a neurologist should tell a patient when he recommends a calcium regimen along with their medication? And shouldn't said neurologist be liable for the tremendous, unneccesary, damage that diagnosis caused?

I am not a medical professional or lawyer, but I have read that doses of calcium and seizure medication should be taken at least two hours apart so they don't affect each other's absorption. If you believe your doctor was negligent in educating you on how to take your medications, you may be entitled to compensation. You should probably contact an attorney if you experienced serious injuries from dosage errors by a medical professional.
